The Albion Cottage in beautiful colourful garden
Warm, relaxing and homely are some of the descriptions used by people who stayed at Albion Cottage. Inside, it is newly renovated in 2024 and outside it is surrounded by an array of flowering plants and a variety of birds and butterflies. You can enjoy a beautiful garden and be just a short walk (20 minutes, 3.8 km) from all central city cafes, restaurants and shops.
Five minutes walk from our cottage is a Countdown (Woolworths) Supermarket, Bakery, Alto cafe, Tasse Cafe, Chinese Takeaways, Motor Garage, Medical Practice, Cable Car Terminus , Mornington Tavern and many other local shops.
Dunedin is known for its culinary experiences. Award-winning restaurants serve fresh local seafood and delicacies, quirky bars are found in intriguing alleyways, cafes filled with coffee purists and connoisseurs and an entertainment precinct that thrives on the vibrancy, brought about by being a University City.
As well as the Botanic Gardens and the spectacular coastal landscape, other attractions include the historic Dunedin Railway Station, and reputedly the world’s steepest street, Baldwin Street, which runs an annual downhill race.
The world famous Taieri Gorge historic rail journey shouldn't be missed. Also visit the Chinese gardens, Otago Harbour - a popular place for kayaking, rowing, windsurfing, fishing and yachting, the Botanic Garden's 28 hectares of trees and park-land (with Aviaries including NZ native parrots) is located close to central city, and is a popular lunch time venue with locals and visitors.
The city centre hosts a modern public art gallery housing one of New Zealand’s best international art collections, Theatres, Museums and Libraries which rank among the country’s finest.

Me and my teenaged son enjoyed the place, very warm and cozy and very central for Dunedin. Coffee in the morning on the verandah and listening to the bird life was lovely
Beautiful cottage, cozy and very well appointed with so many charming features! The property manager was so responsive and very friendly! The neighborhood, like most places in Dunedin, is very hilly, so be ready for some cardio if you plan to walk!
We loved the house, and we loved the surrounding garden with its trees, flowers, birds, and bees. The house is in a quiet neighborhood but conveniently close to shops, restaurants, and hiking trails. We stayed 10 nights and were never at a loss for things to do in Dunedin.
Spacious bungalow. Interior design and decor very tasteful. Very comfortable. 5 min walk to supermarket (10mins if you are a slow uphill walker). Would stay again.
Short trip for daughters graduation with family, 5 of us, nice location, quiet, cottage was all we needed and was very nice to stay in, clear instructions to get into property, wi-fi was great, no direct comms with property manager, no problems so not required, had a really nice weekend
Cute setting, close to grocery and pharmacy. Quiet neighborhood. Only issue was the quality and comfort of the sitting area couch and chairs. These pieces of furniture should be upgraded for a better guest experience. Overall, a good stay.
Well kept , olde worldy cottage, just what we wanted - not many mod cons. .. beautiful garden and great location for us ... some milk in fridge for weary travellers would be nice touch .. cheers .
The cottage and garden were great. Steep walk to market and nearby eateries, but that seemed true for all of Dunedin. We walked to ( downhill) and from (the opposite) downtown several times. Living room small and furniture a bit worn, but it's all about being out and about doing things, so not a problem. Bedrooms very comfy, shower water pressure excellent and kitchen well equipped.
The property here is beautiful. The owner warned us that it may be chilly in the midst of winter, but it was completely fine once we had the heater going for a little bit and there are heaters everywhere you'd want them (including in the bathroom which is rare in New Zealand).
Do note: If you are not able bodied, you will want to either rent a car or plan to uber as the hill you need to walk up to get to grocery, restaurants, and walk to downtown Dunedin is very steep.
This property is very charming. The flowers and trees in the yard are so beautiful and well taken care of. The house is older, with squeaky floor board charm. The furniture in the living room could use repairing or updating, but it fits the area of the house. It was nice to have a washer and drier, since it was too cold and wet to use the clothes line. I could have sat in the yard the whole time I was there.
A characterful, old-school cottage with a lovely garden, acted as a good base for our explorations in Dunedin. The location up in Mornington is a wee way from the CBD, but not too bad, and close to supermarket plus other shops. The interior is quite dark, so probably best for summer months. Some of the facilities, including the kitchen and bathroom, are quite dated now and could do with a spruce-up. The instructions around accessing the property and the cabana are a bit minimal, and could do with being a bit clearer.
